Ballots will be tallied; votes will be counted. Election Day results in winners and losers and the nation will reap the consequences. It is up to you to cast your vote for men and women who will stand for righteousness…those who understand right from wrong and will base decisions on those principles.

And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.

Genesis 15:6

Believing what the Lord has to say in His Word – the greatest influence for good – and then obeying Him will forever have His blessing. At one point when Abram was asked to do a most difficult thing, he was ready to obey because He believed that God would provide. In another time, it was Phinehas who knew what the Lord expected of His people and stood up and intervened for Him. In each case, their belief in God “was counted to him as righteousness.” (Psalm 106:30-31)

Choose your leaders wisely. Pray intently that you may know which are best to serve under God’s guidance no matter the pressure to do otherwise. Live your life in the same manner…looking to God, believing His Word will lead you in every decision you make. Then it will be counted to you as righteousness. There can be nothing greater!
